BLM Patination Oil

The BLM Patination Oil 1 Litre is a white spirit based surface treatment that prevents white carbonate from forming on the surface of newly fitted lead sheet and reduces the risk of staining to adjacent materials.

Patination Oil should be applied to lead roofing, flashings and cladding to give a uniform, attractive appearance where the lead Sheet is visible. It is also necessary when water flowing from the lead sheet surface may come into contact with other visible building materials. The area of lead sheet covered by Patination oil is approximately 60 square metre per litre.

Patination Oil should be applied in a well-ventilated area away from naked flames. On application, the white spirit in the oil will quickly evaporate to leave a dry coating. Patination oil should be applied as soon as possible and before the lead is allowed to get wet. The container should be kept sealed when not in use and stored in cool dry conditions between 5 degree Celsius – 30 degree Celsius.
